had decomposed. it is a key counterpoint since the prosecution says anthony used duct tape to suffocate caylee after drugging her. the witness, a forensic pathologist, speculated the duct tape may have been used to keep the jaw together as the decomposing body was moved. testimony resumes monday in orlando. an italian court heard two prisoners testify today that american amanda knox is innocent of murder. but the two inmates differed on the identity of the real killer. one said his own brother was responsible, but prosecutors questioned his credibility. another said that a different suspect was responsible for the murder. knox is serving a 26-year sentence for the killing of her roommate but insists she is innocent. congresswoman gabby giffords is back home in tucson, arizona, for the first time since she was shot in the head in january. giffords and her husband, astronaut mark kelly, arrived friday and are spending the weekend with family. she was released from a houston

burning in 11 different states. this is not just an arizona problem. take a look at this satellite image. this will show you all the hot spots across the u.s. so from space, they can detect all of this heat. we see areas all the way up into washington state, stretching down into california and arizona. and then all the way over into the southeast. and take a look at florida. we've had a lot of problems so far this year in south georgia and northern florida. take a look at this video that we have for you near the swamp. homes were evacuated earlier this week, and about 200,000 acres have been burned. this fire only 50% contained. this fire was likely caused by lightning. now let's talk a little bit about the wallow fire because i have some new information that i want to bring to you. cnn has just learned that that fire has now jumped some containment lines in new mexico, in the town of luna. it's under evacuation orders as

a result of that. the air resources, you know, they're fighting this with helicopter as well as big airplanes trying to put fire retardants over the fires. they've had to stop those efforts right now because the winds are so strong. so this fire is advancing. unfortunately, after making a lot of progress this week, don. tomorrow the wind's expecting to be even stronger. extremely critical fire conditions with winds gusting up to 50 miles per hour. >> before you go, i mean, this caught our eyes and ears because john mccain toured those fires in arizona today. he made an off-the-cuff remark about how the fires might have started. take a listen and we can talk about it. >> we are concerned about particularly areas down on the border where there is substantial evidence that some of these fires are caused by people who have crossed our border illegally. they have set fires because they want to signal others, they have set fires to keep warm. and they have set fires in order

to divert law enforcement agents and agencies from them. >> what do you make of that? >> reporter: it's certainly a possibility. a lot of these fires are caused by human behavior, either people who have -- camp fires that have gotten out of control or maybe a spark or a cigarette out the window can start these. some of them are lightning caused like the one i told you about in georgia. but the wallow fire and also the other fire that john mccain was talking about, the causes are under investigation. they very well may have been from humans. >> thank you very much. now this -- >> how do they do that? >> how come the company, a big company like that, you know, they -- they should check that before. >> i want you to be careful. the person offering you a bag of peanuts and a drink on your next flight could be a fraud. see how one case of stolen identity in airline security now has many travelers a lot skeptical. some of the biggest business

my parent were actually not -- pants were not even below my knees, below my buttocks. they were slightly below my waist. >> okay. a college football player was booted off a u.s. airways flight, then arrested after he refused to pull up his saggy pants. the flight crew says that deshon ha marmon's sweatpants were so low that his underwear was fully exposed. the pilot ordered marmon and all passengers off the plane. the university of new mexico player was then jailed on suspicion of trespassing, battery, and resisting arrest. let that be a lesson to you. we put our trust in flight attendants every time we set foot on a plane. one attendant for american eagle airlines wasn't who he said he was according to prosecutors and the airline. police arrested yofan porter at miami national airport friday. they say he used another man's identity to sneak his way on to

that flight attendant -- into the flight job. we've been following this story. so i really want to know, and i'm sure a lot of people -- are people on our flights who they say they are? how did this happen? >> yeah, that is the big question is how did this happen. how did yofan porter allegedly steal a person's identity and get a jiob as a flight attendan with a major airline? he's charged with identity theft and three counts of forgery in miami among other charges. he's being held on $1 million bond. we know he came from guyana, and when he was arrested he had multiple forms of phony i.d.s, driver's licenses, passports. and listen to what prosecutors had to say -- what they say happened when he was confronted by authorities. >> he would refuse to identify who he was, why he had done this, why he had assumed this role in the airline industry

which is obviously a security concern to everyone involved. mr. porter is a flight risk because we don't really know who he is. he was only identified by the fbi when he had a fingerprint match. >> so it was his fingerprints that told authorities who he was. but a lot of questions remain. how did he get past the airline's background check? the airline put out a statement saying they are actively involved in the investigation, but they aren't answering our questions about the details of his employment. now we did talk with the tsa, a spokesperson there says airline flight crews are vetted against terrorist screening watch lists, but it is up to the airline to verify a potential employee's identity and legal status. we did speak an identity theft expert. he says trying to figure out a job applicant's identity actually may be tougher than you think. >> the problem is when the airline's doing their background investigation, they're doing an investigation on the victim, not the person who's applying for the job. so it -- the real challenge a lot of times is not just doing

the investigation, but make sure the person you're investigating is the person in question. >> porter used the name of a bronx man as an alias. that man applied for federal government assistance and was denied that benefit because he was told he had a job at american airlines. obviously, he didn't. it was porter who did. so that's apparently when he contacted authorities, and they came in to figure out what the heck is going on here. obviously a huge security breach if you ask me. >> that is a huge security breach. just think about what we have to do in order to fly. the i.d., you have really -- almost get naked to go through security, quite honestly. >> and he has a job. >> he's the guy that's there -- supposed to be taking care of us. >> yep. >> disturbing. thank you. appreciate your reporting on that. a witness expelled from the stand, and an entire defense team on the brink of con temperature of court. emotional out -- contempt of court. emotional outbursts during the casey anthony trial. how many more will there be? a battle over the green, on the green, president obama and his top political rival get down to the nitty-gritty over the
